There are several types of pyrotechnic devices such as mine, gerb, flash, concussion, waterfall, flame projector, maroon, ice fountain, comet, mortar hit, crossette, line rocket, smoke, airburst, and fireball. Whereas, the types of explosives include TNT, dynamite, gun powder, ANFO, and nitroglycerin. High explosives and low explosives are the two broad categories of explosives.

Global Explosives and Pyrotechnics Market: Key Trends

The rising mining activities across several regions in the world, coupled with the popularity of firework shows at various social events, are some of the most prominent growth drivers of the market. The rising demand for gold and diamond jewelry is likely to aid the expansion of the market, as these substances require mining explosives. The military explosives segment has been adopting smart explosives, boosting market growth. Moreover, an increase in the defense expenditure worldwide is likely to result in a greater demand for technologically smart weapons. Mining of coal is expected to present substantial opportunities because the ever-increasing population worldwide has been necessitating energy generation.

However, the market might face restriction due to the harm caused to the environment, animals, and humans from emissions and noise by explosives and pyrotechnics.
